Cleaver" <hmcleave-AT-eco.utexas.edu> Subject: Re: AUT: Analysis of the sex trade You might want to take a look at Satoko Watanabe's dissertation proposal: http://www.eco.utexas.edu/facstaff/Cleaver/satprop.html on Thai sex workers in Japan. The dissertation is actually finished now and probably available from university microfilms. Satoko lived and worked with Thai bar girls in Yokahama, Japan and her dissertation studies the sex trade from their point of view. As a result, it is less focused on their victimization and more on their struggles for self-realization. In doing this study Satoko came into direct conflict with the Yakuza while obtaining an incredibly rich amount of information from her on-going interviews. Originally the proposal included work on mail-order brides but that went by the wayside given the amazing amount of work she did with the Thai women. The perspective of the study is that of autonomist Marxism and the proposal references some previous literature on women struggles from a Marxist perspective.
